About this deal

Once we had positioned the seat to lower her son, Lauren was able to ride more efficiently on the trails. Her son did not interfere with her riding, even on descents i.e. hitting her chin, impacting her vision and body position etc. This truly made all the difference in performance on the trails.

I can now talk with her much more easily. I can hear her singing (sometimes without end) more easily. I can judge her mood and whether or not she’s willing and able to continue or needs to find a park to have a swing at more easily. Comfort of the Shotgun front bike seat I feel certain that being upfront and being in the more natural riding position gives her a big advantage to then riding for herself and being confident to move the bike around under her. A socially acceptable way to cycle with kids However, the main selling point, and one that will strike a chord hardest with bike mad parents, is that a front-mounted seat is far more FUN! Now able to interact safely with your handlebar, stand-up and lean with you into corners, your toddler will love the dynamic riding position. Your child will howl with laughter, getting the same buzz as you do when you ride. Yes, rear-mounted child seats are a good way of transporting your child, a front-mounted child seat makes transporting your child fun. When can I start using a front-mounted MTB child seat?

ABOUT THE SHOTGUN PRO KIDS MOUNTAIN BIKE SEAT:

If you're using your bike for daily transport (rather than mountain biking) then it's worth thinking about cargo bikes. Designed to easily fit onto virtually every size mountain bike frame, the Shotgun is really popular with parents wanting to introduce their children to the joys of off road cycling from an early age. On our Santa Cruz bikes with three full-sized spacers, there was plenty of clearance and absolutely no issues, as you can see above. It also allows you to keep an eye on what they are doing, which is more difficult if they are in a rear seat behind you. If you’re planning on introducing your little one to the trails, the Shotgun seat is a solid and affordable bet. Mountain bike frames come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and the Shotgun seat will likely fit them all (unless it’s an ebike!). It can even be adjusted to fit bikes with wider tubing.

Like other kids MTB seats, the Shotgun Pro is an “open style seat” that consists of a saddle and footrests with stirrups. Optional handlebars are available, or you can choose to have your child hold onto your bike’s handlebars. There is no harness, so your child must be old enough to sit for extended periods of time and hold on to the bars (~2 years old). I can’t remember having strangers smile at me when towing children in a trailer. Very infrequently it may have happened with the rear seat. The shotgun seat has a range of adjustment to fit top tubes from 30 – 68mm wide, and down tubes from 30 – 100mm wide. We have not found any analogue mountain bikes that are outside of these specifications. With any child bike seat, if you fall or crash, your child is coming crashing along with you. However, there are safety benefits of different styles of front mounted seats. The angle of the legs to accommodate the angle of your down tube, and also provide enough clearance between your child’s feet and the front tire.When she's not testing bikes, Carrie's actually still testing bikes. Bikes in the house, bikes in the garage... bikes are everywhere and it's the best way of life. The height at which the adult rider’s seat post is positioned also plays a role in the comfort level of the riders. In most cases, the higher the adult seat is set on the bike, the more room the adult rider will have.
